It was an opportunity to get our family together after a long time apart. There were 6 adults, 1 three year old and a toddler. The house was absolutely perfect. It was so cosy, well equipped and had everything we needed. All the instructions about how to find it and operate the spa etc were perfect. ##### Jane B.

It is full of character and offers plenty of space and privacy for a getaway. The house is clean and well maintained for the most part, however, just like with any old house there were some minor maintenance needs, such as broken tap handles and doors that did not open or close properly. Despite this, it is a very comfortable house with modern furnishings and great Insulation which kept us warm throughout our stay ##### Sally N.
